Opera Mini Reaches One Billion Page Views Daily

Opera Mini just might be the most popular mobile browser around the globe, as yesterday the company announced that it serves one billion page views a day. How did they do it?

Simple, get the thing on as many devices as possible. According to Opera Software ASA, the browser is supported by over 3,000 mobile phones. With so many different phones accessing Opera's servers daily, the company claims their servers process 11,500 web pages a second (let's just say we'd love to see their stacks).

Processing and compressing 90 percent of 11,500 pages per second before sending them back to users, Opera's servers must be some of the most sophisticated around. And we thought we'd never see the day when a company would serve more of anything daily than McDonald's serves burgers. Eat Opera's dust, Ronald.
